Prayer Shawl Ministry
We're looking for knitters and crocheters who are interested in participating in a prayer shawl ministry. Pastor Ardith would like to have prayer shawls available to take to those who are ill, suffered a loss, or who have a great joy in their life. A prayer shawl takes with it the prayers of the person who has created it and the congregation who has prayed and dedicated it. The shawl can be made of any type yarn and any type fringe. Approximate size is 26'' x 60''. This typically takes three or four skeins of yarn. Please see Pastor Ardith for more specific instructions .

Noise Offering We will be taking a Noise Offering every Sunday in November in support of Heifer International. Bring your loose change to share with the children. The funds they collect will be matched by the Church to purchase some animal for a Third World family in need. In August the Bible School children collected enough to purchase a water buffalo and then the UMW also purchased a water buffalo. We can purchase a
Heifer for $500
Water Buffalo for $250
Llama for $150
Sheep, Pig, or Goat for $120
Trees or a trio of rabbits for $60
Honeybees $30
Flock of Chicks, Ducks, or Geese for $20
Throw your coins into the buckets and help the children and church help a family in need.

United Potluck Dinner November 29th at 12:00 p.m.
We will be ''Hanging the Greens'' as we decorate for Christmas. Enjoy soup (you bring sandwiches and dessert) and fellowship as we bring the Christmas season to the church.

The Cuba Area Food Pantry
is in need of your help. ALL supplies are severely depleted. We particularly need rice, beans, cleaning products, personal hygiene items, canned meats, peanut butter and breakfast foods. Know that every time you pick up a few items for the food pantry you are serving as one of Jesus? disciples (maybe even one of his angels). You can also purchase a bag of Groceries for $5 at Fishers? They will shop for you and Dave will deliver the groceries to the Food Pantry for you.

Sherry`s News
Well, here it is November and I'm wondering how last month went so fast. It seems to go faster the older I get, so, I'm taking a hint from Jack Benny and staying my same age for the rest of my life. But I really don't think it will work. There’s a couple of special holidays this month that we like to celebrate Nov. 11th is Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving on Nov. 26th or as my family calls it ''Turkey Day'' don’t overeat to much. And don’t forget to turn your clocks back Sunday Nov. 1st.
Here are a few other holidays you might want to celebrate this month:
Nov. 1st, All Saints Day;
Nov. 2nd, National Deviled Egg Day;
Nov. 3rd, Sandwich Day;
Nov 4th, National Candy Day;
Nov 5th, National Donut Day;
Nov. 7th, Hug-a-Bear Day (teddy bear);
Nov. 13th, Mom's and Dad's Day;
Nov. 14th, National Clean Out Your Fridge Day;
Nov 17th, Homemade Bread Day;
Nov. 21st, World Hello Day;
Nov. 23rd, National Cashew Day;
Nov. 27th, Pins and Needles Day;
Nov. 30th, Stay At Home because You're Well Day; so have some fun with these days. And I’ll see you in church. Worship is 9:30 am and Sunday School is right after. God Bless!!!
